Hi Neighbours!

How do you say Hi? Kincora is proud of it’s multicultural diversity (61% vs Calgary’s 41%). 30% of + 7,000 ‘Kincorites’ know multiple languages with less than 2% not fluent in English or French.

A booming community

The KCA Community Residents Facebook page shared a 10-story Assisted Living development proposal on a portion of 12855 Kincora Gate NW (Kincora Care Home). This is separate from:

- 465 Kincora Glen Road NW (Outdoor Recreation Area),

- 12825 Kincora Gate NW (Kincora Towers), and

- 1100 Kincora Drive NW (possible CBE K-5 school?).

The Kincora Gate properties are ‘reserved’ for high-density projects. Kincora will still have undeveloped land as these projects are completed.

311 Reporting

The City of Calgary’s 311 system is a great tool for everyone to use. You can call, use the website or app to file a report. Reporting helps the City locate needed maintenance with the data being used to identify locations that require additional attention. 

Community issues such as broken storm sewer grates, burnt-out streetlights, pothole locations, missed street sweeping, tree issues, water service valve heights, broken sidewalks, and ravine garbage are some of the 311 options. Posting concerns on Facebook won’t get the same results as sharing that you’ve submitted a service report.

Enjoying summer

August is our final time to enjoy summer freedom. Please drive safely. Let’s watch out for back-to-school students, community trees, and the huge planters in the medians. None of these want to be hit by vehicles (yes, another tree destroyed and another planter hit).

The KRA board appreciated meeting people at the Community Association’s July Stampede Breakfast. The KRA board doesn’t hold meetings during the summer. Projects are still progressing with the Kincora Boulevard infrastructure, pond playground replacement and KRA’s 272 accounts with outstanding balances.
